Kamala Harris reveals her surprise favorite sport – and urges everyone to watch it: ‘You might get hooked’

The best car racing circuit in the world has another powerful American in its corner.

US presidential candidate and current Vice President Kalama Harris said earlier this month that she has become a Formula 1 fan.

In an interview with Sirius’ Howard Stern on October 8, which has since resurfaced online, Harris was asked to defend the sport after the host dismissed it as “cars going in a circle over and over again.”

“Oh, it’s so good,” Harris said, denying she was merely discussing F1 as a campaign strategy. ‘We love it. Our whole family does that.”

Of course, she hasn’t seen much racing this season, as she’s still serving as a Veep while running for her boss’s job.

“I haven’t been able to watch it much lately because I’ve been campaigning,” she said, before adding another complicating factor: time zone differences.

“Depending on where they’re driving and the time of day, you should wake up,” Harris said before being interrupted by Stern.

“Who is your favorite driver,” asked Stern, who is known for “Dancing with the Stars” and “Real Housewives” over most sporting events.

Harris didn’t hesitate: “Lewis Hamilton, of course.”

She also tried to encourage Stern to watch, but outside of the NBA, the infamous radio host has never shown much interest in sports.

“You should see it,” Harris said. “You might get addicted to it.”

Sports is a difficult subject for some politicians who are afraid of making blunders during their campaign.

While running for president in 1996, then-U.S. Senator Bob Dole incorrectly referred to the Los Angeles baseball team as the “Brooklyn Dodgers,” nearly forty years after the club moved west from the East Coast. The mistake was bad enough in itself, but it also underscored the 73-year-old’s increasing age as he found himself in a tough race against popular 50-year-old incumbent Bill Clinton.

Harris hasn’t been immune either. In April, she incorrectly said the NCAA women’s basketball tournament wouldn’t have a “bracket” until 2022, only for one of her spokespeople to correct the vice president in a subsequent email exchange with DailyMail.com.

What she meant to say, her spokesperson confirmed, was that before 2022, the term “March Madness” only applied to the men’s tournament and not the women’s tournament. Of course, by that point the damage had already been done and Harris was castigated for making a mistake. anecdote about sexism in college hoops.

Her husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, committed his own crime in August while wishing Harris a “happy anniversary.”

Posting several photos of the happy couple online, Emhoff showed himself wearing the hats of both the Dodgers and San Francisco Giants – two of baseball’s biggest rivals.

‘???????????????????????? one baseball fan captioned his post with two separate images of Emhoff wearing a Dodgers and Giants cap.

“This is f***ed up,” one user replied, while another said: “This would decide my vote.”
